The incident recorded below, and which is of recent oeenrrctiee, has l.een copied from one of our estern exchanges: Lo-au Fontanelle, chiaf of the Omahas has just l.een slain and scalped at Lonp Fork', by a band of Sioux. Logan was a noble fellow and in this last mortal conlllct, he dispatched several of the enemy to the spirit land before, to heralr1 the coming of his own son!. He fought long, desperately, and with good effect, but numbers finally overcome hiniand his life de parted through a hundred wounds. He died a martyr to his people, and his name should be carved upon fume's brightest tablet. He was on his annual hunt with his nation. A number of his lodges were pitched- upon the plains near LiOtip For-k.-A a yonng warrior one day Todtf "fffouBil the -adjacent vltills, he espied a powerful band of Sioux encatntiqj'l'along a stream in a sequestered vale. He Chastened to inform Logan of the proximitv and power i of their natural foe. Logan ordered his people to back immediately, and proceeded in a straight line, with all speed for home, while he would remain behind, and divert the Sioux, by false camp fires and other devices, from a different pursuit of them. This was about twilight. fin i peri me peopie got nutter way as quickly as lossl" tue ble. but not too soon ; for scureidv hnrl , , - - - im a ...gu.auu, w.en several oimix warriors came m sight and discovered the place of their 1 .. 1 1. 1 . .. ,1 I 1 t.- recent encampment. 1 hey examined it and found that the Omahas had been there, and they then returned to notify their chief and bring an adequate force to pursue and slaughter them. Logan from a hiding place, saw all, and knew that no time was to lie lost in drawing their attention from the trail, which they would soon discover and follow, and mounting his horse, he dashed away at full speed across the prairies, at right angles with the route his tribe had taken, and struck a fire about eight miles distant, on an eminence where the Sioux could distinctly see it. He had scarcely done so before a powerful band were on the spot he and his people had just left, and who, without stopping to distinguish the trail, started for the lire, which they saw rising against the clear, blue sky, and where they expected, in another moment, to imbrue their hands in the gore of their unguarded victims. Iut Logan had not been unwary. As soon as the lire was lighted, he again mounted and rode eight or ten miles further, and kindled another lire just as they reached the first. This rather bewildered them. They dismounted and examined the ground. Logan anticipating this, had trotted and walked his horse around it, so as to make the appearance upon the grass of treading of a dozen horses; and this drew them into the belief that a small both had lingered behind and kindled this fire, and then gone where thev could see the new fire burning; and so tliey followed with renewed avidity. The same thing happened as before. Logan had gone on, and another lire met their astonished gaze, while the same sort of foot prints were about the one around which they were now gathered. Their suspicions were now awakened.

Logan was then going round with glaring torches, and understood their object, and knew that his only chance of safety was in immediate night towards his home, and he further knew that by the time they could retrace their way to their place of starting, and find the trail that his own people had taken, they would be beyond the reach of danger. The Sioux, in the meanwhile, had divided into tniall bauds', the largest of which was to return and pursue the Omahas, and the others to endeavor to capture the one they had missed.

He succeeded in reaching it, and just within its verge he met an Indian girl dipping water from a spring. She was startled, and about to crv for help, when he hastily assured her that he needed protection and assistance. With the true instinct of a noble woman, she appreciated ; his situation in an instant, and all her sympa thies were with him. She directed him to dis- mount and go to a small natural bower to which she pointed him, in the verge of the woods, while she would mount his horse and lead his pursuers. He obeyed her, and she mounted his liorse and dashed on in a serpentine way through the woods, leaving marks along thc bushes by which she could be traced. The pursuers soon followed. When she had eot some distance down the branch, shj rode into the water and followed its descending course for a few steps, making her horse touch its sides and leave foot-prints in that direction, and then turned up the stream and rode above the place at which she entered it, without leav ing a trace, and back to where Logan was con-, cealed. She told him to mount and speed ' away, while his pursuers were going in a con trary direction down the ravine. He did so, and got a long distance out of sight, and again thought himself out of the reach of danger, when in a valley just in front of him, he saw fifty braves coming up the hill to meet him. They were some of those who were returning from the pursuit of his people. He changed his direction and tried to escape, but his poor horse was too much exhausted to bear him with sufficient speed. With savage yells they plunged their rowels into their horses' sides, and gained upon him. As the foremost approached within good shooting distance, Logan turned suddenly and scut a bullet through his brain. Then loading as he galloped on, he soon made ..another bite the dost; and then another, and 'another, until four were strewn a?ong the plain. Just then, however, as he was again re-loading," his horse stumbled and fell, and the band rushed upon him lieforc he had well recovered from the shock. He was shot with bullets' and arrows, and gashed with tomahawks, and pierced with lances; notwithstanding ail which, lie rose amid his foes, nnd, with his clubbed rifle and hunting-knife, he piled around him five prostrate bodies, and fell with his back upon their corpses, and expired still fighting. He was scalped, and hundreds of warriors held a great war dance over him. Thus Logan Fontanelle departed, nn'd. his noble spirit was followed to the spirit-land' by the sighs and lamentations of his nation, and the sympathies and aspirations of the brave of evorv. land.

America has so long protested, that the neutral Hag protects all goods not. contraband of war. These principles have repeatedly been merged in the congress of nations by America, and atj the commencement of the present war a partial and ungracious suspension of what English Ministers were pleased to call the rights of j belligerents, was obtained in answer to the " " Cort of gt Jumes OI, these ;ts F, : . ,;li;i;nlHt fi.,.t. tilllt ootwilh.n'r.dir.a- the mighty demonstration of wooden walls at Spithead, the assumptions of I-higland as to the rights of search and seizure bv belligerents have been repudiated by the Kuropean Ceir- gress, and the American doctrine, in favor of commerce and the seas, has been maintained. Though the action of the Parisian Plenipoten tiaries cannot bind the United States, yet as this country has for forty years steadily main tained this doctrine, ami engaged in tho war of 1812 in its behalf, and is already a party to a treaty with Russia, substantially to thc same. j effect, we may consider all the grent maritime. powers as henceforth solemnly oouna to tins alternation of the antiquated and unjust rules of naval warfare. The force of public opinion it will be seen is steadily and noisely working its way for live interests of humanity in every quarter of world. The military governments of the East of Europe find that armies without railroads and internal commerce are coniparitively weak, j and they arc compelled to adopt a policy in i favor of trade to obtain the sinews of war, with-' i out which brute masses of men are rather ah" e than of real expensive source of incumbran: strength. The security of the commerce of the world on ithe highway of nations is now fully coiicedtd by ! general consent. Public sentiment is" thus ob- tabling substantial protection for individual ! right; even in thc continuance of war, and liberty and law are thus fostered even in the face of absolutism. A". Y.
